If this post is a little incoherent and rambly it's because I'm all hopped up on Sudafed Maximum Strength Severe Cold.

Which, I was just told by my 16 year old stepson, has the same ingredient as crystal meth.

(Note to self: If I live, look into why he knows that.)

I woke up Saturday morning with one of those über-colds with the coughing and sniffling that you think is going to elicit Code Blue sympathy but really your cough is just annoying the crap out of everyone.

I made a lot of phone calls, 'cause that's where you get the sympathy.

"You sound AWFUL!!!"

" I know...I'b sick."

"Oh my gosh! Can I bring you anything???"

"no...no.....I'b just gonna lie dowd...try to get sub rest.."

Then they tell you who else they know that's sick and I'm all: Can we get back to me?

AND I'd much rather have a stomach bug 'cause then at least I'd lose 3 or 4 pounds from the puking. No such luck.

So....I got nothin.

But I'll share a couple of pics from Before The Plague:

Friday morning we got SNOW here in PA, so I bundled up Flat Joe and took him outside:

and Friday night my girlfriends ended up at my house for a few bottles glasses of wine and I saw this the next morning:

You know it's a good party when your friend has left, but her bumper hasn't.

I had the stomach bug last week, myself. I barely kept ginger ale, chicken broth and saltines for a full week, and spent more time with my toilet than I did in the blogosphere. (So: LOTS of time.)

I did not lose a damn pound. Not even one measly pound.

I think my body went into that starvation mode and converted everything I did keep ingested immediately into cellulite, I swear.

So, just saying - at least you can get hopped up on cold meds and languish comfortably in bed. The stomach flu isn't all it's cracked up to be if you don't even lose the leftover Halloween candy binge-fest weight.

If you got that Sudafed off the shelf (instead of having to go to the pharmacy, hand over your driver's license, sign a form, and practically be fingerprinted), then it wasn't the good crystal meth stuff.

Can't believe you can handle anything Sudafed related - that stuff makes me truly whacked and I won't sleep for days. I've moved on to Advil Cold and Sinus which also throws me for a serious loop but at least my heart doesn't beat out of my chest.

I want to be drugged like you. I bought generic crap for my uber cold, and now need to go buy MORE, better stuff. So is the Sudafed working? I was going to get Dayquil (or Nyquil, since I have no desire to be awake).

Can you send me a photo or two of your shirts or mugs to put with the link to your page for Bloggy Black Friday? I only got a couple of responses, but I still plan on posting them! I would love it if you could send a picture I could use with the link you provided.

If you know of anyone else, pass them along and I will spotlight them as well!Thanks,
